Beyond purely self-interested intentions, Kissinger's activity with the FBI exposes an insecurity which most Kissinger biographers inevitably claim lies beneath his arrogance. At Harvard, this anxiety displayed itself in his retreating behavior and his distaste for faculty polities. In over-reacting to a critical pamphlet. Kissinger once more allowed his suspicious temperament to take charge of his actions. Landau recognizes this tendency in his writing as well...
This social deficiency is one of the causes, or perhaps one of the results, of what I now see as Harvard's main problem; the steady decline of the humanities as a part of undergraduate education.

Women across the country who have been drawn to the rigorous sport claim that they feel stronger and more confident. Stacey Bentley, 23, a body-building champion who moved from Philadelphia to train at Gold's, says she has become a better athlete. "I hadn't skied for a while," said the 5 ft. 2 in. competitor, "but when I did last winter, it felt like I had shock absorbers...
